Andrew and Chris came out to quote and fix my air conditioning unit. They found two gas leaks. Chris was prompt to fix the issue, and was a very approachable and a lovely guy. The job was completed in a quick timeframe. I’m very happy with the work carried out. Thank you Chris.
Adam came out to move two water meters. Adam was friendly, on time, and kept me informed of the progress. He did a fantastic job, and did a though clean up. Would highly recommend. Thanks Adam.
Very efficient online booking for tech to review/diagnose and recommend replacement; told about a week to wait for transport from Melbourne but contacted <24hrs later saying they had a unit and could could do today - four tradies arrived - disconnected old unit and replaced with new - very friendly and efficient crew - thank you very much - Dr. Paul Devenish-Meares

Amazing service. Booking was a pleasure, so nice on the phone. Blake came out and was very friendly and accomodating. Completed jobs there and then. Good prices and professional service. Definitely using this company for future jobs. Thank you so much. Show reply
Fantastic service and advice. Professional conduct and friendly manner. Plumber also happily spoke to my land agent regarding her concerns on the property. Show reply
Great team of people came and assessed what the issue was, explained clearly what the issue was and what solutions were available. Once the job was done they cleaned up the workspace which was greatly appreciated. Nice friendly and respectful people. Will definitely use their services again. Show reply
I am happy to refer Eric to anyone needing a plumber. He was knowledgeable, respectful and very polite. He promptly completed the job and left everything nice and clean. A pleasure to deal with. Show reply
Had a new rainwater pump installed to my tank and a tap so I can utilise the water better. Happy with the installation looks neat and tidy. Very nice installer friendly and not intrusive. He explained the use of the tap for rainwater/mains water. Show reply
The cost to change one circut breaker $421.00 which is basically rip off, the guy said he took out the call out fee which is $120.00 , the total was $540.00 only when I said this is very expensive, it's terrible for the average person today,the guy that did the job were really good but the price is ridiculous expensive.I won't use this company again.Even my own electrician said it was very expensive.
Electrician was there 10 minutes and charged $600 for turning on 2 switches, as he said he had found the fault. Thankfully I called the manager who agreed they had not upheld their promise to not do any work without quoting. So we only paid the call out fee. The quote they provided was double what we had the work completed for. Would NOT USE THIS SERVIcE AGAIN EVER.
I had a very disappointing experience with Service Today. I first contacted them on 1 July 2026 because my heating system had stopped working. I was initially quoted around $300, but the final bill came to $1,108.80 - more than three times the original estimate. What made the experience even more frustrating was the amount of time it took to… Read more
resolve the issue. My heating wasn't finally repaired until 20 July 2026, almost three weeks later.
To make matters worse, just three days later, on 23 July 2026, the heating stopped working again.
After paying over $1,100, I expected a reliable repair and much better service. Instead, I was left with the same problem, a large bill, and a great deal of inconvenience.
Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Service Today. I hope they improve their workmanship, communication, and quality control so other customers don't have to go through the same frustration.

Reasons that I was dissatisfied with this company. I called this company for a blocked toilet. The plumber used a plunger and charged me a huge fee. In few days, it was blocked again. My other bathroom had a problem with a leaking flush. I was given a quote and a full explanation of what would be done. The first plumber understood that I… Read more
wanted the internal parts of my current toilet replaced knowing the toilet would be difficult to replace. I agreed and booked a time for him to do the work. A different plumber was sent instead.
1. The plumber dropped a part of my toilet. It was an accident. He glued it back together like a jigzaw puzzle. It looked terrible and unsatisfactory. I refused to be satisfied with this arrangenent. See the photo - would you be happy with this?
2, Poor customer service - The biggest reason I would not recommend services today is when there is a problem and I called the office, a Manager refused to speak to me to resolve the situation. The Manager kept indicating she would only speak to the plumber. I called the office 3 times. The reception staff on each occassion were nice and said they would escalate to a manager. Ist time - Manager wouldn't take the call, 2nd time, I was told the manager would speak to the plumber, 3rd time the Manager spoke briefly and hung up on me. I feel this was unsatifactory. In the end the toilet was replaced with a one I didn't choose and didn't match my bathroom. I was charged for the new toilet. A expensive and distressing experience. There is also deep scratches in my nonslip vinyl flooring where he was working.
Update. I have not been contacted to resolve the situation and it has been more than a week.
I would not recommend or use this company again.
I have been contacted by Service a couple of times about this review, but no resolution yet. It is 1 month since the service.

Clicked on the plumber closest to me on map. States up-front quotes- needed a leaky tap fixed. Plumber attended, didn’t have vertical shower tap stock- only side by side. Cost $50 call out. Total cost $650 and “cold” reads upside down. Taps going to the left and right. Disappointing service.

One of your service men came to my property today at about 8:40 for a leaky tap and running toilet. The quote he gave me was to fix/replace the tap and the running toilet. He only replaced the tap and a small pipe, charging me $428. The toilet was still running, just like before. I told him he didn't fix it. He pulled his shoulders up, told me to… Read more
close the toilet tap. He told me to buy a new tank. He quoted me for fixing the tap and the running toilet. I also heard him on the phone bad mouthing me to Jason. He gave me a quote of about $1400 to replace a simple toilet. This plumber was more a sales person, trying to get more money from me, a senior citizen. He is exactly like how you see them on Current affairs. Can't look you in the eyes. He didn't put my toilet back the way it was. Please explain to me exactly what the $428 covered. How do you justify that amount for a tap and a small piece of pipe and only max 15 minutes. See attached photo. Shortly after this incident on Monday morning I emailed the company with Photos. Reception will forward it. Tuesday evening I haven't received any contact from them.

Follow-up · No problems since I had Service today out. Fixed in good time. Unfortunately being a Saturday afternoon it was more expensive than a week day. But needing a working toilet over rides cost.
Warning – WARNING! Extremely bad customer service. Sucked me $14500 for a 2x half day job. And the problem why I got them out is not solved. I complained that the problem is not solved yet but they don't care. They just claim they completed the job. The only… Read more
thing they cared about is sucking my money. My house got a blocked drain and I explained to them that it was smelly since I moved into this house 1 month ago. They came out quickly and inspected the drain. Then told me it would cost over $18000 to reline the whole drain. And that this would be my only option. I said I would have to think about it and they quickly came down to $14500. I had a bad feeling this would be a rip off. But with a screaming girlfriend in the back and with new tenants moving in in a few days, I agreed to get it fixed by Service Today. I asked if this would guaranteed fix the problem permanently. They promised me a life long warranty on everything. Quote "This is a forever fix. If the pipe breaks again, we come back to fix it for free. Life long." Service Today seems to be a big company I thought this would be good when it comes to a life long warranty, so I chose them. For a price of $14500 I also thought this job would be a very big one and would take several days to complete. But it only took them 1 guy for less than 1 hours for the assessment (They wanted to charge $850 for that in case I don't continue further with them.) And then 3 guys for about half a day on the first day and max. few hour on the second day. So all together this job probably took 1 day for 3 guys and that for $14500. And the best is still to come... The drain is still very smelly. We complained and were told to write a diary, which we do and which says smell everyday. Now we are getting ignored. Nobody came out to check it again. Nothing. They don't care. I got a bad feeling they did a incomplete/bad job but I can't look into the drain myself. When it comes to the invoice. Even though we agreed to a fixed price of $14500, they wanted to charge me more at first. Then I had to complain about the price several times until they accepted the $14500 that we agreed on in the beginning. Their first invoices also stated a 1 year warranty. Then I had to negotiate with them about the warranty. In the end I got an invoice saying "25 years warranty on relining material and 0 warranty on material". They refuse to give me the life time warranty on everything which they promised and why I booked with them. I got big doubts that I will get any warranty of them at all since the problem why I got them out is still persistent and they refuse to do anything about it. They say my 1 month old washing machine would be the reason for the sewer smell.
Follow-up · 1.5 years later another plumber digged out the pipe and confirmed ServiceToday's dodgy work. 1. They complete blocked off a junction with their reline causing the floor drain of the bathroom to fill up gradually and causing a massive stink. The water could not drain as ServiceToday blocked off the junction. 2. Their complete reline was of an… Read more

Disappointing experience with their quoting and pricing transparency. I engaged Service Today to inspect a leak and paid their $189 call-out fee. They quoted me $3,795 for a few repairs, including $1,600 just to replace a standard AC condensate… Read more
pump.
Because the price seemed extremely high, I looked up the exact pump model they quoted, and it retails for roughly $250–$300 at standard supply stores. When I emailed management to request a simple, itemized breakdown of the labor vs. materials (which consumers are entitled to ask for), they refused, stating they only offer 'fixed pricing' and wouldn't break down the individual tasks.
In my opinion, charging an upfront fee only to provide what feels like a vastly inflated, un-itemized quote is a very poor business practice. I ended up purchasing the pump myself and getting it installed for a fraction of the price. My advice: always look up the cost of the parts they are quoting you for, and don't feel pressured to proceed just because you've already paid the call-out fee.
Follow-up · I bought the part for $250 and changed it myself in 30 minutes. Will never trust their services.

(Adelaide) Andrew the attending Plumber/Gas fitter was excellent, prompt, informative, great advice for future servicing and maintenance. Credit to Himself and the business.
Tomi & Jacob - Electricians - very very professional, friendly & explained everything they needed to do in order to get new hot water system connected to power. Worked in a timely & efficient manner & worked in with us re timing of turning off power, as our daughter was working from home today. Will definitely use this company again. Your workers are an absolute credit to your company. Thank you so much. Keith & Donna-Maree Eagle

He arrived as planned, examined the situation while being very pleasant and communicated what was required to fix the problem. The price was very reasonable… Read more · 1

who change tune to PCB board failure only and an additional $2160 to fix. I access roof space and pressed reset button fixing the problem in 10 minutes. This company has taken nearly $11k from my very elderly lady neighbour over several years. Disgraceful taking advantage of our eldery.

Absolute ripoff. $49 callout fee to just listen to the problem. Charging $400+ to investigate the problem, which was checking a sensor light issue; which was basically taking down the sensor light. Wanted to charge another $1500 to fix one sensor light. Worst part is the solution was to change the setting on the sensor. Absolute price gauging. Don’t use these guys. Says $50 discount for online booking. Never received that either.

This was the most confusing and frustrating quoting process I have ever dealt with. The technician came out to inspect for a replacement hot water tank. The initial verbal figure he gave me was around $3,500. When I mentioned that I was hoping to aim for $3,000, the narrative suddenly changed. He then told me the 'original quote' was actually… Read more
$3,800, and after 'talking to his manager,' the best he could offer me was $3,600 as the normal price– which is $100 more than what he first mentioned verbally. However, it could be $3,500 if I sign up for VIP???
I was quite taken aback by this inconsistency and pointed it out, but he seemed confused as to why I didn't want to proceed immediately. I understand I need a replacement urgently since I currently don't have hot water, but that doesn't mean I will make a rushed decision.
Ultimately, I decided not to go ahead because I wasn't comfortable with the way the pricing was presented. I'd rather pay a bit more elsewhere for complete transparency.
